Sauf les drones ~ versions du vivant

If not for the abbreviated beach season, I would consider moving to Montreal, the post-rock Mecca of the world.  I imagine post-rock playlists in every mall, post-rock at the hockey rink, ice cream trucks playing GY!BE.  If this impression is

Zhaoze ~ No Answer Blowin’ in the Wind

China’s Zhaoze may be new to Western audiences, but over the last two decades, the band has amassed quite an impressive body of work.  Their immediate selling point is their incorporation of electric Gugin and xiao (bamboo flute) into a post-rock frame.

CORIN ~ Lux Aeterna

Lux Aeterna is an audio-visual sci-fi excursion.  We’ve only seen a taste of Tristan Jalleh’s visuals, but the teaser helps us to imagine an immersive, in-person experience.  We do, however, have access to the audio, which honors both the gradual awakening
